Located just under an acre of borrowed land at the Northland Sheep Dairy in Marathon, New York, they\u2019ll be growing upwards of 50 varieties of vegetables to sell at a nearby local farmers\u2019 market, with the help of draft animals (horses, mules, and a donkey), using techniques they learned while working at the Dickinson College Farm.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-466 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/blogsdev.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/files\/2012\/10\/peddler-ad2-300x202.jpg\" alt=\"peddler ad2\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" \/>The owners of the Northland Sheep Dairy &#8212; Donn and Maryrose &#8212; run a horse-powered sheep dairyand sell their cheese at the Ithaca Farmers\u2019 Market. They are looking to diversify their farm, help provide more food to the community, and support young, beginning farmers like Scott and Daniel. They\u2019ll share their land, some tools, horses, water, compost, electricity etc. for free to help kickstart Scott and Daniel\u2019s business. Thanks to Donn and Maryrose\u2019s generosity, much of the expenses of starting their own farm are mitigated; however, Scott and Daniel still need to obtain seeds, a small hoophouse, heat mats for starting seedlings, rowcover, some tools, and a stand for selling their vegetables at market. They are hoping to use the Peddler as a fund-raising source.<\/span><\/h5>\n<h5 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #888888;\"><em>To rent out the <a title=\"The Peddler\" href=\"http:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/home-2\/what-we-do\/peddler\/\" target=\"_blank\">Peddler<\/a> for your event or organization, please contact Peddler Managers <a href=\"mailto:groverb@dickinson.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Nick Bailey<\/a> or <a href=\"mailto:shentonr@dickinson.edu\" target=\"_blank\">Rebecca Shenton<\/a> \u00a0for more information.<\/em><\/span><\/h5>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Emily Bowie Two Dickinson \u201812 Alums &#8212; and former Idea Fund Executive Board members &#8212; Daniel Grover and Scott Hoffman are renting out the Peddler next\u00a0Wednesday, October 31 from 8:00-10:30am on Britton Plaza\u00a0to raise funds for their own vegetable&#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/2012\/10\/25\/if-alumni-fundraise-with-the-peddler-for-their-startup\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":880,"featured_media":4730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2045,11655,1994],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","category-people","category-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/880"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4730"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.dickinson.edu\/ideafund\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
